I did my dlc run with the great katana the whole way through mainly (fell inlove with it) and used Rakshasa's Great Katana alot too. I was super cocky going into the final boss i had beaten all bosses no summons in under 10 attempts with only Divine Beast giving me some issues right at the start with 30 attempts. Safe to say Radahn humbled me after 147 attempts but after 6hrs i got the clear without changing my build and that to me was super satisfying. Alot of guys in my discord and beat him and felt shit cause they ended up caving and using summons or shield and rot builds. So im glad i stuck it out and actually learnt the fight. My 2nd dlc run Radahn only took 3 attempts so it paid off! I think personally Midra and Messmer are easily my 2 favourite fights in the game now right up there with Godfrey, Malenia and Mohg.

After watching basically every Convergence video and now this one, I finally subscribed! 😅 Seriously, though, I really enjoy your content. I realized while watching this video that you show what a lot of other players don't: what you call "scouting," learning the bosses' movesets. I wanted to do that with the final boss, but I just got so frustrated because I tried several different strategies and nothing worked. I wound up beating him with a greatshield-counter-Endure-bleed build, and honestly, I'm disappointed. Now I understand why people are saying it's a bad boss: because almost everyone feels shoehorned into a specific setup. I just want to win with *my* build that I carefully crafted through many hours of play. I'm determined to truly "git gud" on my next playthrough. Thanks, man!

I was playing it safe. I used Mimic and NPC summons, and it was still hard. Messmer, the NPC fight the Frenzied Lord and Radhan were the hardest fights, because they all took countless tries. And they all hit like trucks. I did end up using Messmer's spear. (Rather good combinded with Mohg's spear) I really did like the bosses. By the way, you can kill some of the Frenzied Lanterns by parrying them first. I had found all the map fragments, and suffered anxiety from the spirit worms, when they inflate their heads up close. And i never killed one of the giant braziers. In my opinion, the map is done very well, it could be it's own game because of the size of it. I like the bosses, but they all hit like a train. And they make the base game look easy. After beating the DLC (Which i started before Faurm Azula) apart from Malenia i'm never going to call a Lands-Between boss hard. Godskin: 1st try. Plasudisax 1st try (Although he didn't do the lasers) Maliketh: 2nd try. Gideon: 1st try. Godfrey 1st try. The fish: Also 1st try. The DLC bosses, thats what you call hard. Next time you fight a boss in the Lands-Between, just say: "Well Plasudisax was rather easy." Obviously, that bit where i was saying how the Lands-Between bosses are all just easy was a joke. Also, maybe you could pin this, i don't know.
